Entropy, the amount of molecular disorder, is produced in several systems but cannot be measured directly. An equation developed by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology and Heinrich Heine University…
First global study of coastal seas as carbon dioxide reservoirs possible. Coastal seas form a complex transition zone between the two largest CO2 sinks in the global carbon cycle: land…
The ice-encrusted oceans of some of the moons orbiting Saturn and Jupiter are leading candidates in the search for extraterrestrial life. A new lab-based study led by the University of…
Particles colliding in accelerators produce numerous cascades of secondary particles. The electronics processing the signals avalanching in from the detectors then have a fraction of a second in which to…
There are large accumulations of plastics in the ocean, even outside so-called garbage patch. A UFZ study reveals microplastics in remote marine protected area. “Plastics in the ocean are a…
Room-temperature, ambient-pressure conversion reaction for carbon monoxide could be part of a larger cascade strategy for efficiently turning atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into liquid fuel. Scientists at the U.S. Department…
